MIDDLETOWN >> A Connecticut woman was to appear in court Monday after Middletown police say she gave them a false name in an effort to escape by way of a fire escape late Sunday.

Crystal Lynn Hewitt, 31, of Brooklyn, Connecticut, was also allegedly in possession of 1.8 grams of heroin, two crack pipes, a marijuana pipe, a hypodermic needle and four lidocaine medicated patches when she was arrested.

Officers were dispatched just after 11 p.m. Sunday to an apartment in the 600 block of Main Street where Hewitt was reportedly to be making suicidal statements on social media.

An officer saw Hewitt as she exited the building and tried to question her about the comments. But Hewitt claimed to be someone else and said she didn’t know the individual police were seeking.

She then allegedly ran down a hallway and out a fire escape before police caught up with her and confirmed her identity through the tattoos on her neck. Police found she had a warrant for violation of probation.

Hewitt, who lives on Tatnic Road in Brooklyn, was charged with possession of narcotics, possession of drug paraphernalia and interfering with police. She was held in lieu of $1,000 bail for those charges and $10,000 bail for the warrant pending an appearance in Middletown court.
